Help
Sounds like the sort of sleight of hand that would be hard to explain without a slow motion replay.
But yes, I'm wondering if the fertility clininc is a red herring :)

Besides, to doubt now that she fancied me then, would contradict several decades of delusion. She DID. OK?

That sort of attack the target of your affections is usually more of a guy thing innit?
Maybe - she was a tomboy & showing off in this instance "Hold that lemon up, I bet I can shoot it without shooting you."
The "guy" thing came then... "OK".

Hah! I suddenly recollect that my best friend's older sister shot me with an airgun.
I was too shy at the time to appreciate that that probably meant she fancied me. :)

Or perhaps he could just get himself a shovel (that one's for Hadyn).

What a gyp.
Well I suppose should a vacancy for Phantom of the Laboratory come up....

Unfortunately, there was no hint of any superpowers.
What??!! So we're being deceived about all this.

i don't understand the stress on not?
Now you mention it, neither do I.
Is there a God? Will the All Blacks win the World Cup?
Where is your cat's food?
the opinion of the my lecturer at time (Palmer Senior) was that if the existing laws (back in 02/03) were enforced then incidents would be less likely
it's easy! (he says optimistically), take all the unregistered dogs & destroy them (or at the very least desex them). Police the owners who habitually have unregistered dogs. Confiscate all recidivist wandering dogs & fine the owners. destroy the dog if it is unregistered.
As for muzzling, can't see it working. Will a stray dog stop to put its muzzle on when it escapes its section?

I remember being bored
What are the chances you were that kid that used to throw things at me :)
a kid chopped off the end of his finger by sticking it in a machine at MOTAT.
and that reminds me of when I was a projectionist for the Wellington film society. When we used to use the old museum theatre for screenings, they had a nifty hand cranked setup for rewinding the films. It was geared & spun fearsomely fast.
And I remember another film soc type coming in & watching transfixed as I rewound that night's film. And it was in slow motion that I saw him reach out & gently touch the whirling takeup reel. Although the blood that sprayed across the wall behind was not in slow motion.
And he & I & another then spent the next 6 hours in A & E.

I once dropped a (smallish, thankfully) tree with a chainsaw, it somehow caught on another tree, twisted, and then fell perfectly onto me. Mrs Llew said I, my chainsaw, helmet & all safety gear just disappeared, flattened by a macracarpa.
Luckily, I leapt up straight away, unharmed, allowing everyone watching to guffaw with relief.
Which brings me to a mate & his brother in law, tending & thinning their block of pine trees near Blenheim. They'd parked the car at the bottom of the hill. Commenced thinning the trees, one of which fell cleanly, but bounced & rolled downhill & crushed their car.
